229 is a couple times more than 1 BTC (about 5,37 BTC). But the real what's better depends on what's gonna happen with cryptocurrency values and fiat values throughout this month, since there is a chance to have only a couple of Sats when the course falls heavily...
I do not think that the valuation of BTC is in effect here. 1 BTC will always be 1 BTC regardless of its price. So decisions can't be influenced by the current market for obvious reason. Besides people will rather do the math than think of the future price of BTC. Even when the value of BTC crashes to 50%, the 1 sat doubled per day can still give more value in fiat.
And the toughest obstacle with this scheme is that nobody's gonna offer it
I think this is just a test of wit and math power, so we don't need to be serious about the possibility of this stuff to happen.
